St. Pölten, Altstadt - Austria HD Travel Channel
St. Pölten is the provincial capital of Lower Austria since 1997. It emerged from the Roman City Aelium Cetium. Remains are to be seen at City Hall. The architect Jacob Prandtauer lived in St. Pölten for a long time and gave the city its baroque character. With the foundation of the Benedictine monastery of St. Hippolytus by representatives of the Tegernsee Abbey, the city gained in importance. St. Hippolytus gave St. Pölten his name. The cathedral square was once the center of the Roman settlement.
The Institute of the English ladies was also designed by Jacob Prandtauer. Notable personalities have visited the school, e.g. the poetess and writer Enrica Handel-Mazzetti.
One of the tourist attraction is the Herrenplatz in the center of the city, surrounded by numerous Baroque buildings. Around the Marian column, flowers and seasonal fruits are offered daily. On Tuesday is the City Market where one can buy cheese, meat and bread. The surrounding cafes invite to stay for a while.
Worth seeing is the Mayor's office with its the magnificent baroque stuccoed ceiling from 1722. It is among the most beautiful ceilings in Austria and shows the Emperors of Holy Roman Empire, from Frederick III to Charles VI. The Mayor's office serves as representational room and as venue for small concerts.

St. Pölten ist seit 1986 die Landeshauptstadt Niederösterreichs. Sie ging aus der Römerstadt Aelium Cetium hervor. Reste davon sind im Rathaus zu sehen. Jakob Prandtauer lebte lange Zeit in St. Pölten und gab der Stadt ihr barockes Gepräge.
An Bedeutung gewann die Stadt mit der Gründung des Benediktinerklosters St. Hippolyt, durch Beauftragte des Klosters Tegernsee. Der hl. Hippolytos gab St. Pölten seinen Namen. Der Domplatz war einst das Zentrum der römischen Siedlung.
Das Institut der Englischen Fräulein wurde ebenfalls von Jakob Prandtauer gestaltet. Bedeutende Persönlichkeiten haben diese Schule besucht, z.B. die Dichterin und Schriftstellerin Enrica Handel-Mazzetti.
Der Herrenplatz wird von zahlreichen barocken Häusern umsäumt. Rund um die Mariensäule werden Blumen und je nach Jahreszeit Obst verkauft. Dienstags wird auf dem Herrenplatz beim Citymarkt auch Käse, Fleisch und Brot verkauft. Die umliegenden Cafés laden zum Verweilen ein.
Das Wahrzeichen von St. Pölten ist das Rathaus. Sehenswert ist das Amtszimmer des Bürgermeisters mit der prachtvollen barocken Kaiser-Stuckdecke aus dem Jahre 1722. Sie zählt zu den schönsten Österreichs und zeigt u. a. die römisch-deutschen Kaiser von Friedrich III. bis Karl VI. Das Bürgermeisterzimmer ist auch Repräsentationszimmer und Veranstaltungsort für kleinere Konzerte.

Travel Austria - St. Pölten, Charming City
Sankt Pölten (St. Pölten) is the capital city of the State of Lower Austria. The oldest part of the city is built on the site of the ancient Roman city of Aelium Cetium that existed between the 2nd and the 4th century.
The name Sankt Pölten is derived from Hippolytus of Rome. The city was renamed to Sankt Hippolyt, then Sankt Polyt and finally Sankt Pölten.
The city is home to the baroque cathedral of Sankt Pölten.
Mariazell & St. Pölten - in beautiful AUSTRIA
I'm sorry - The subtitles did not upload correctly to YouTube. Try to ignore them if you can!
Of the myriad of day trip possibilities (or overnight) from Vienna, one of the best is to head into the picturesque Alps and visit the charming mountain shrine town and ski resort of Mariazell. Mariazell is splendidly situated in the eastern Alps of Austria, right across the border of Lower Austria in the province of Steirmark (Styria). It is Central Europe's most revered religious destination for its famous shrine and basilica. Yet it also is a top-notch ski resort in winter. Of course Alpine hiking and biking can be undertaken through much of the year. And there is always local beer and other specialties.
To get there, one travels to the lovely capital city of Lower Austria - St. Pölten - on a choice of trains from Vienna's Westbahnhof. In St. Pölten, one changes to the classic narrow gauge mountain railway called the Mariazellerbahn. This is still a working train route, operating several times daily, every day of the year. The trains are very old and proceed slowly but they carry you through some gorgeous valley and mountain scenery. It is not a tourist train; it's a real train operated by Austrian National Railways.
And if you have time, why not make a stop in St. Pölten. Its maze of pedestrian streets and plazas in the old town, complemented by some striking modern architecture in the government quarter make for a pleasant stroll.
So sit back and breathe in the mountain air while you travel to Mariazell, listening to Josef Haydn's Emperor Quartet. This music by Haydn is a set of variations based on the Imperial Austrian Anthem that he had earlier composed to rally the peoples of the Austrian Empire and to honor the Habsburgs in their heroic battles against the forces of Napoleon. Peace!
